1.13 - The Folk Song Archivist

New episode of Conversations with Ghosts! This one's VERY Daniel Powell-centric. It's written by Dan, Dan's dad plays the Alan Lomax-inspired ghost, and it includes an original Daniel Powell song, performed by the super-talented Ali Dineen! Take a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/1lX1...

PHANTOM PULSE - a 90s audio drama musical PHANTOM PULSE is a rock audio drama about love, death, and everything in between from Lauren Shippen, creator of The Bright Sessions.

Ok - 4 days left, 25% to go. It's doable but it won't be easy. I've been quite severely ill for the last month, and whilst I've been waiting for a treatment to keep me on my feet for more than a week, this campaign has almost passed.

So I'm asking for help. Please boost this if you can.

For #audiodramasunday remember to support @laurenshippen.com’s new audio drama, Phantom Pulse, on Kickstarter. There are only four days left, and it already sounds FANTASTIC. www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

A BLAST to talk to @laurenshippen.com, one of my favorite people in AD. If you want to hear us talking about what it might take for the medium to bReAk OuT, the stuff Dan and I do outside of podcasting (he's made some incredible electronic music, I've written a novel and a play) - take a listen!

maybe it's because ghosts are in the text? Who knows.

no idea why this is labeled 'graphic media' - it's just old timey baseball stuff.

one of the coolest things about writing Conversations with Ghosts was diving into NYC history. And today, when the city is vibrating with energy and a (different, fake) Dodgers team just won the world series, I'm super excited to share this episode.

Love that I get to wake up in a concrete jungle where dreams are made of. Truly, there’s nothing we can’t do.

And if you have listened... please leave a nice review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen! (Also, even if we made a trailer just to have something in the feed before we released the first episode... Dan did a great job on the trailer)
